Custom Graphics

Looking for a customization edit on one of my ready-made in-stock graphics?

I've got you covered with some very easy to order; super affordable options, that will give you the look you need to fit your brand, your blog or that crafty project you've got goin' on.

Each option has its own selection of choices inside, chosen to suit the most popular requests. In addition to character edits all options include coloration edits for the clothing and accessories so that you can match perfectly to your project.

Here is a simplified breakdown of the options. If a customized order is something you're interested in, please review the full details of each option and feel free to drop me an email if you have questions.

OPTION 1: Choose a simple edit where we just swap out the head on any design set for any one of my other pre-made characters. Easy peasy. From just $15.

OPTION 2: For even more flexibility you can build your own character from a wider selection of ready-made mix and match options. From just $18.

OPTION 3: Need a few more bespoke edits, I've got some of that too. Starting at $5 extra.

Choose from each of these quick order options here.

CONFUSED?

I create female character graphics. Each gal I create is given a name and then comes in a few ready-made variations that are included automatically with any in-stock purchase.

For example, every caucasian gal comes made with blonde, brunette and auburn hair as well as blue, green and brown eyes for each image. Darker gals come in three skin tone variations.

These are my basic choices, ready-made as stock clipart available for instant download.

I then also offer a selection of customizations for any of the stock clipart in my shop. Things like color changes, character swaps, and even creating your own set selection from across all my stock clipart.

So what's a character swap you ask? Simple, we just replace one head design with that of another from my pre-made or build your own options!

Everything offered in the customizations is based on my pre-made artwork, and while I don't currently offer a more bespoke one-of-a-kind type service to create brand new designs, there are a considerable number of options for creating a more personalized graphic in the above selections. Plus, I'm always adding more stock options to my store.

Still have questions? Drop me a line and I'll see if I can help. Contact me here.

Lending on Kiva

Lending on Kiva

Working for myself has been a life-long dream, something I am now so proud to have achieved. But it's not always been an easy road and I know first hand the challenges and hurdles to be faced when following the entrepreneurial trail.

Having access to even the simplest of resources was a turning point for me in setting up my own online business. Being able to tap into the experience and knowledge of others, having a supportive environment and being able to fund my start-up were the single biggest benefits I've enjoyed.

I am now in a position to be able to support others, to share my own knowledge and resources. Choosing to be a micro-lender through Kiva is just one of the ways I'm doing that.

If you've never heard of Kiva, here's what they have to say...

_________________________________________________________

"We envision a world where all people hold the power to create opportunity for themselves and others.

Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005 and based in San Francisco, with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. We celebrate and support people looking to create a better future for themselves, their families and their communities.

By lending as little as $25 on Kiva, anyone can help a borrower start or grow a business, go to school, access clean energy or realize their potential. For some, it’s a matter of survival, for others it’s the fuel for a life-long ambition. 100% of every dollar you lend on Kiva goes to funding loans. Kiva covers costs primarily through optional donations, as well as through support from grants and sponsors."

_________________________________________________________

To make it easier for organizations to work collaboratively with lending goals, Kiva offers a team environment for individuals to come together with other like-minded souls.

Giving by Design is the team I created in 2013 to bring together other creative entrepreneurs who also wish to give back and support others with the struggle of financial independence.

My personal lending goals are to support creative women in low-income economies. But each member of the Giving by Design team has their own personal objectives based on their own values and life experiences.

I welcome anyone who would like to join us on this journey and contribute to the Giving by Design team's lending goals. Alternatively, scroll down for info on how to contribute with a one-off donation.

_________________________________________________________

JOIN GIVING BY DESIGN

_________________________________________________________

If you're interested in supporting the program, but don't want the commitment of the lending program or joining a team on the site, there are other ways to donate.

As a charitable organization Kiva is always hoping for donations direct to them. They do not take a cut of the loans done on their site, but they do still have overhead costs to consider.

Alternatively, you can gift a donation to another member who will loan the money instead. There is a $25 minimum for this option and it's as simple as sending an electronic gift card.

I am more than happy to accept Kiva gift cards from anyone who wants to support the Giving by Design team if this is the best option for you, just send to admin@lovelytocu.com.



Thank You & Best Wishes

Starter Kits for Designers

Starter Kits for Designers

Want to get started creating digital designs to sell? Or maybe as freebies to offer on your blog?

Sitting down to a blank page can be overwhelming and is a major contributor to a little something known as procrastination. That's where templates come in really handy as a starting block. The pages are already laid out for you, saving time and frustration, but also giving you that much-needed starting point.

This is one of the reasons why I created my template line under the Terrific Templates banner. These are templates that I myself use and had been getting requests for from my clipart customers.

All of my templates come in various file formats so that they are easy to use in whichever design program you prefer, and they are super simple to use. (although you do need some basic software skills)

To make things even easier, I've bundled the templates together into different packages to effectively create a perfect starter kit for each topic.

Currently, you can choose from collage, party printables, scrapbook paper design or planner stickers. Look out for jewelry design bundles coming soon!

Get the bundles HERE. All are Buy 1 Get 1 free, so don't forget to use coupon code B1G1 at checkout to save even more on the bundled price.

Character Variations

Character Variations

In every character design pack I sell you'll find a series of color variations ready-made to suit your personal style.

The variation choices offered with design pack will be clearly labeled on the preview image as well as in the listing description, but I wanted to review the common variations offered here just to further explain how each product pack is created.

For light skin toned characters; you'll receive three ready-made hair colors, blonde, brunette, and auburn. You'll also get each of those three hair colors ready-made with three eye colors, in brown, blue and green. That's a total of nine variation choices in every design pack. And that applies to every image in the pack. (unless otherwise noted in the listing)

For darker skin toned characters the choices apply to the exact skin tone offered. Every character design pack will come with three skin tone choices, caramel, cinnamon and chocolate. Again, that applies to every image in the set for a total of three variations per image.

_________________________________________________________

These are just the variations offered in my stock listings. For even more choices and combinations, be sure to check out my customization offerings where you'll find even more ways to personalize your graphic.


Happy Crafting
